Two 1 month year old chicks won’t stop chirping

[Omar Buenrostro]

My chickens are currently chirping non-stop, there is food next to them , warmth , everything they can have. My friends are saying that they might be scared of a predator. Which is my dog , he has been walking around near them but didn’t do anything bad. Any suggestions on how to stop the chirping

How old are they?
I'm guessing still young enough to need heat.
Do they have a cooler spot to go too?
If not, they may be too warm.

They are both a month old, they have a lot of warmth and a area where it is both hot , cold and warm, they stop chirping when they are next to me but this has never happened

The shadow of your dog could be the trigger. A shadow to chicks means a predator. Things from above a chick are very scary to them. I'd try to keep the dog in a different area for a day or so and see if they quiet down. If so, you know!

too hot maybe ?

There is different chirps, "I'm lost" "I'm cold" "I'm scared" etc. and they can be loud. (I had one in the brood house get "lost" and was being very loud, the hens gathered around the door to watch, I went in and sat it with the others, silence) Happy chirps coming from most all of them is good.

Do you run to them every time they Chirp loudly?..They have you trained..Or the Brooder is too warm. Possibly ready to be moved outside.

Yes, at 4 weeks they should be off heat.

They don’t need warmth after being a month old?
